All of us have at home a folder with immigration papers - copies of I-485 receipts (or approvals, you lucky people), I-140 approvals (which took forever), H1 document sets etc etc, you know what I mean. So I wonder how thick got your folders marked INS (mine is INS because it was INS and not CIS when I started)???
Mine is actually 418 pages thick. I have copies of my diplomas, marriage cert., birth cert., translations of those, copies of old passport pages, I485, I140, LC, doctors papers, copies of all AP/EAD applications, all I94s, all H1s including the 7th year extension... the works.
I even have a copy my 1st US employer's (aka "the sweatshop") "promissory note" where they asked me to pay them back $25000 minus a thousand bucks for every month I worked for them (yep, it was not only Indians that had these things, Croatians also had one such company).
